Abstract

See full text

A system is provided for matching a new hole in an overlying member with an existing hole in an underlying member. With a magnet placed in the existing hole, an indicator device having an internal cavity, an outer boundary, and a ferrous ball freely movable within the internal cavity is slid across the surface of the overlying member and in engagement therewith. When the ferrous ball overlies the magnet, a position on the overlying member aligned with the existing hole in the underlying member is thereby located. Thereafter, the indicator means is removed from the overlying member and replaced by a drill guide means. The drill guide means is used to locate a drill to cut a hole through the overlying member coincident with the existing hole in the underlying member.
